  • Publication number: 20070258746
    Abstract: A computer keyboard includes a first key having a first function positioned adjacent to a second key having the first function, both keys integrated into the computer keyboard. Each of the keys is independently operable to perform a rapid operation of the first function. The keys are operable to be depressed in an alternating manner to perform the first function, such as an accelerated backspace function. A keyboard includes first and second backspace keys separated by a zigzagged boundary, again integrated into the keyboard. A method of manufacturing a keyboard includes providing a first key having a first function positioned adjacent to a second key having the first function, again integrated into the keyboard.

  • Publication number: 20060112312
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for adjusting trace data granularity. An initialization module sets a base granularity for trace data recorded for a component. A registration module registers a condition counter comprising a condition set. The threshold module sets a count threshold for the condition counter. An increment module counts each instance of the condition set. An adjustment module adjusts the granularity of trace data stored for the component to a modified granularity if the condition count exceeds the count threshold. In one embodiment, a timer module times an adjusted trace data granularity time interval. The adjustment module may set the granularity of the trace data to the base granularity when the adjusted trace data granularity time interval exceeds a specified time interval.
